The Ferris Wheel belongs to the younger Me
I had forgotten your name,
The color of your eyes, your haircut,
And dirty hands, your smile
Until I walked into the county fair
And saw the ride I met you on,
6 years ago
It feels so childish, and we were so young
And I can finally say I’m over you
But that doesn’t mean I don’t miss you
The lights, the loud music, the spinning rides
They take me back to you
But you didn’t own that memory first,
The younger me did, and she still has ownership to them
As I walk around with the smell of funnel cakes in the air,
I’ll think of little me, the girl who
Would beg to come here every day
Ride every ride, fearless
Who would look around and
Find the joy in life in just a Ferris wheel
